A mentally disabled Taunton resident was beaten in his home until his head was bleeding profusely on Sunday morning, allegedly at the hands of a 26-year-old man who overstayed his welcome and refused to leave, according to police.

Christopher P. Mitchell, 26, of 15 Hodges Ave., was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a person with an intellectual or mental disability. Mitchell was arraigned on Monday in Taunton District Court, where he was ordered held on $750 bail by Judge Gregory Phillips, who in a court document cited “the nature of the circumstances” of the alleged offense, and a history of default court warrants and a record of similar assaults.

Taunton police said that they stopped at 33 Union St. while on patrol for a wellbeing check on the mentally disabled man, who is in his mid-50s and is known by police as someone people have taken advantage of before. Upon entering the common area of the building, police saw drops of blood on the outside of the victims door, and entered to find the victim with a large, blood-soaked bandage on his head, surrounded by two neighbors, according to a police report.

Mitchell came to the home the night before, police said. After an early morning argument over Mitchell’s excessive use of the victim’s phone, police said the victim tried to get him to leave. He tricked Mitchell into thinking the phone was outside in the common area, and tried to lock him out, but police said Mitchell beat the mentally disabled man in the head and pulled him around on the floor by his hair.
